I need to replace the door seals on my BJ8. I see that Furflex and Bristleflex are used. Furflex is available from Moss. Where is Bristleflex available and is it a better choice?

Only take off the whole frame if you need to replace the frame to shroud seal(THAT'S ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE CASE OF BEER JOBS).? I think you have to remove the top outer frame and the screws on the side pillars in the door openings on each side.? I think then the inner frame will slide out.? I'm glad you got the Pilkington glass.? I got one of the less expensive screens and it was not wide enough to seal from side to side. After spending the extra $300 or so for the Pilkington the seals went on better.? Take care,? George Haywood, '65 bj8

Listers,
Add Clausger's Original Austin-Healey : The Restorer's Guide to 100,
100-Six and 3000. The third link is for a seller with zero feedback.
But the first two are from Mid Life Books who has been around for many
years.

My immediate response would have been 'yes,' as I've sealed two new
(steel) tanks with no negative results (one's been sealed for at least
20 years). However, Hirsch's own FAQ says 'SEALER SHOULD ONLY BE USED
AS A LAST RESORT' (the whole doc is in caps). So, if a company that
has a vested interest in selling sealer doesn't recommend it, I wouldn't
do it again, esp. with an Al tank, which should be more impervious to
rusting (I believe Al forms a thin oxide layer on its surface anyway).
